Several warning signs you can look for tell you it might be time for shower faucet repair. The more you know and the quicker you act, the better overall. Signs to look for include:

Water Dripping or Damage

When you have a consistent drip, this is a sign the valves are not functioning correctly, or there may be heightened pressure in the pipes. Water damage from dripping around the shower faucet is something you never want to overlook, as it can lead to costly repairs or mold development.

Damaged Faucet Components

If your handle is not working correctly or other components start showing wear, it is time for a replacement.

Spitting Faucet

When you are not getting steady streams of water, you may have deposits built up within the shower head or something could be wrong with the aerator.

Strange Sounds

While there are different sounds shower faucets make, some should be considered red flags that something is going wrong. Screeching and other loud noises mean it is time to have it looked at.

Rust & Mineral Deposits

Any deposits in your shower faucet could be detrimental to shower function. It could signify that you need a repair or replacement sooner than later.

Squeaking Handles

Whenever there is a squeaking sound when you use the shower handle, it might mean the faucet stem is wearing down. While this is not a complicated repair, having the professionals handle it will ensure it goes smoothly.
